Wuzz is an interactive command-line tool for inspecting and tweaking HTTP requests and responses in a terminal UI.Is this a one-shot command like curl, or something I navigate interactively?It's a terminal UI (TUI) app: you launch it and then move between the URL, headers, body and response panes with keybindings, editing and resending the request live instead of retyping a shell command.
